Yes, Headliners has always positioned itself as a different kind of paper review show, so in that regard it is a response to the BBC and Sky’s programmes.
You used to get genuinely interesting conversation on Headliners but but since the departure of Dominic Frisby the pool of contributors seems to have got ever smaller and the intensity of debate has dropped. Simon Fanshawe should be used more often as he often takes things from a different viewpoint from a lot of the others. And Leo Kearse and Nick Dixon shouldn’t be together as they seem to be ideologically matched and the only difference is one is more amusing than the other.
It’s not a right vs left thing, but you want a bit of debate.
